Welcome to the EX forum!

Thanks @WE3ZS !!!

Its got the Triton V10 with just over 200K on it.
My plans are to get it fixed back up into acceptable shape. Bought nerf bars, interior bits, new mirrors LED's etc.. Need to fix the swimming while driving issues and the rear heat controls and pass rear window wont open..
But all in due time.
There are many things I need to fix like seats door code and shifter is sooo sloppy, but have lived on youtube for the past 3 days. also the Tech folder as well.

Very cool, I'm a very big fan of the V-10, I work mine pretty hard and love how it handles that work.
Between the extensive Tech Folder and the awesome helpful members here you should be able to tackle any job on your list!

Nice rig! Welcome! Seems to be in pretty decent shape by the picture. How’s the rust situation?

Rust is marginal. we live in a no salt zone (Eastern Oregon) so thats a small plus
